Done. What’s up?
Me:
Ashley showed up at my house for dinner
Jack:
Need me to notify the others?
Me:
Not yet
Let me figure out what she’s doing here
Jack:
Got it
I need proof if she tries anything. Harper and I are solid, but Ashley could be trying to make waves.
“Eli.” Mom’s voice is bright and she gestures from the table for me to join them.
“Sorry, just checking on Harper. My girlfriend.” I narrow my eyes at Ashley as I take a seat across from the two of them. Maybe I’ll just mentally replay our study session in here when I had my cock buried in Harper’s tight little pussy.
Mom shakes her head indulgently. “I keep telling Eli he shouldn’t settle yet.” She hasn’t told me that. “To take advantage of being young.”
Ashley nods and smirks at me. “Most of us don’t settle for one person. At least not yet. We’re only eighteen and heading off to college in a year.”
“What colleges are you applying to, dear?” Mom passes the rolls to Ashley.
The conversation continues with Mom asking Ashley about her future plans and mentioning how close that college is to the ones I’ve applied to. Or how great would it be to have a familiar face at college. All while she drinks her wine and we eat the meal that was supposed to be our family meal.
A work emergency on a Sunday night is a stretch even for my father. I’m curious what he’s really doing, but not enough to check his location with my phone.
My parents’ marriage is broken. It’s only a matter of time before they crash and burn.
Dinner ends when my mother receives a phone call.
“Oh, sorry, I have to take this one.” Mom touches Ashley’s shoulder. “It was so lovely to talk to you again. I hope to see more of you.”
Mom’s eyes meet mine as if to tell me to behave before she answers the phone and heads into the kitchen.
I lean back in my chair and stare at Ashley. “Why are you here?”
“Why else would I be here?” Ashley smirks and sets her plate to the side. She glances toward where my mother disappeared before narrowing her eyes on me. “Your little virgin can’t be what you need yet. I need a session. We don’t have to have sex.”
“Why would I do that?” I give her a cocky grin.
“Fuck, Eli.” She lowers her voice. “Invite your littlegirlfriendover. Show her exactly what you want from her by giving it to me. Who knows, maybe she’ll be into it? Or maybe you’ll scare her off for good? I don’t give a shit. What I need is someone who isn’t afraid I’m going to shatter like glass. I need you because I can’t get what I need anywhere else.”
Her frustration burns in her eyes.
“Not tonight. And not like this.” I clasp my hands on the table and meet her desperate eyes. This might be the break we need. “I’ll consider it. I won’t do it if Harper doesn’t agree, but it will cost you.”
Her eyes narrow. “Fine. Talk to your pet and text me the details.”
